After spending nine weeks on the physically unable to perform list, wide receiver Jordan Taylor will “test his hips” at practice Wednesday, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. The receiver had surgery on both hips this offseason and was sidelined for the first half of the season.

Denver has until Thursday, Nov. 8 to make a decision on Taylor. The team can either activate him to the 53-man roster or leave him on reserve for the entire season. The Broncos’ decision may be influenced by whether or not fellow receiver Demaryius Thomas is traded before Tuesday’s deadline.

Denver also has a decision to make on defensive back Su’a Cravens. After spending the first eight weeks of the season on injured reserve with a knee injury, Cravens is eligible to return this week.

If the Broncos activate Cravens (or Taylor) they would have to make corresponding roster moves (players would have to be cut or traded to make room for them). Cravens indicated two weeks ago that he’s healthy enough to return for the second half of the season.

“I felt like myself probably two weeks out of surgery,” Cravens said on Oct. 15. “They did a great job in surgery. My knee actually did great with the rehab that they’ve been doing and I’ve been doing a lot of lower body stuff. My bottom half is a lot stronger than it was before. I’ll feel confident when I get back out there.”

If Denver does not activate Cravens, he will spend the entire season on reserve. With Darian Stewart recovering from neck stingers, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Broncos add Cravens to the 53-man roster.
